Research notes

Possible link "England and Wales Census, 1851," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGF5-YZ6 : 8 November 2017), John Stewart, Saint James Westminster, Middlesex, England; citing Saint James Westminster, Middlesex, England, p. 28, from "1851 England, Scotland and Wales census," database and images, findmypast (http://www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO HO 107, The National Archives of the UK, Kew, Surrey. Not likely as his wife was a widow in 1837 so must be another John Stewart.
